With everyone deep into Spirit Tracks, and Jon auditioning for a "guest star" role on the show, there's just not enough New Business to fill a segment. Instead we lean into a heavy dose of Listener Mail. This week we: un-cancel a Nintendo game, pick annoying ringtones, create musical theater, make Spike stand-out, and dive deep into the Wikipedia Trap.

In between, James and Gui squeeze in a little dose of New Business. James has some final thoughts on Venture Kid, and then dives into cyberpunk bartending visual novel VA-11 HALL-A. Guillaume has a look at the DLC for Tesla vs Lovecraft.

Final Reminder: Your homework is due this Thursday, with our RetroActive of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Turn in assignments here.

I want to see a Paper Mario musical that has all the actors wearing billboards with the characters printed on them.
